Varieties of Oranges.

"The orange is a very deceptive fruit,
said Fulton market fruit dealer the other
morning. an nine oranges out of ten the
more beautiful their outside appearance the
poorer will be the quality of the fruit within.
The deceptive oranges are the result Of allow
ing fruit to remain on the trees to color after
they are fully developed. The young fruit
on the same tree abstract the juices from the
full grown orange until nothing remains but
Z spongy, wool like ball covered with rough,

allow many varieties of oranges come to
New York?" asked the reporter
1.-THE list is a long one. Itincludes the Ha-
vana, the Jamaica, the Porto Rico, the Mas
sau, the Abhieco, the Louisiana and the Flor
ida varieties. The fruit from five differ
ent ports on the Mediterranean sea and the
five different varieties from California are
classed by dealers as summer fruit. All these
varieties Of orange come to the port of New
York. We can, therefore, supply the world

Looking for His Lily.

Not so very many years ago a couple
newly married-stopped at the Ryan for the
night. They hailed from somewhere in the
valley of the Red district, and had money
enough to make a small ripple in the city
The bride retired early; but the groom, still
feeling his oats, went out to see the town.
He visited number of the prominent resorts,
and about midnight found himself in the
hotel elevator Calmly transiixing the hoist
boy with his eye, he addressed him: "My boy
ish swhere's my bridesh' Swhere's my turtle
dover
The boy, of course, could not answer him.
But finding the number of his room he at
tempted to take him there.
"Noshirl" said the inebriate. "Ish-hic-
vanish shiny cooling dove She's the rosesh of
the valley, she is"
Everybody in the rooms along the hall was
awake by this time and several heads peeped
over the transoms.
-a-hic-lambsh," he con.
tinued, "a swan of the sea- Where'sh shel
Thatsh what want-hic-to know2 Whosh
stole my cuckoo from mesh!"
By this time they were at the door of his
room. 1t suddenly opened, a hand and arm
clothed in white was thrust out and the I'M
fortunate yanked in with terrific jerk and
this remark:
Heres your rose of Sharon and lily of the
valley, you old fool. Go to bedI"-Pioneer-

A Boy Sharing sparrows.

A dirty faced boy was sharing sparrows on
the commons above the Lion brewery the
other afternoon. He had a horse hair moose
attached TO a string and some rice to make a
trap with. He spread the moose on the
ground, put few grains of rice in it and sat
down a couple of yards OFF and waited The
sparrow is a bold bird and a greedy one, and
a victim soon walked into the trap. Then
the boy pulled one string, twisted his prison
ers neck and put him in bag. He changed
his place little after each capture, and he
caught three out of every five birds he set
for. His hands were bloody from the peck
ings he got in slaughtering his prey, for the
birds fought so bravely for their little lives
as to inspire compassion in any heart but a
dirty faced boys.
The young fowler informed me that he
made business of catching sparrows to sell
to the cheap French and Italian restaurants.
He declined to state the price paid for them,
evidently viewing me as a person inspired
with envy of his trade and therefore to be
mistrIlsted. But he stated that sparrow on
the bill of fare figured as reed bird, and that
it was in constant and growing demand. But
the Eye-talians were breaking the business all
up, just as they had broken up the boot black
ing business before, and there soon wouldn't
be living in it for white man. They
trapped sparrows wholesale and sold them at
half price, and consequently the market was
going to the dogs.-Alfred Trumble, in New
York News

Freight and Passage Men.

II Is strange that freight and passenger
men should know so little concerning each
others departments, even in matters of long
standing and considerable importance. Yet
such is the case, as any one may find out for
himself by questioning member of either
divisions concerning the workings of the
other. The chances are that the well informed
outsider will find himself better posted on
freight matters than is the passenger man of
the very railroad in question. The members
Of the two departments do not, for some mys-
FERROUS reason, as a rule, affiliate The head
Of the freight man is constantly filled with
some mathematical problem, while the
passenger representative confines his cogi-
tations more to ways that are dark and
tricks that are far reaching and subtle. And
SO we go our several ways, almost as ignorant
Of one another's business as if we were engage
ed in separate and distinct interests.-Globe-

Ladies' of the White House.

The recent presence in Washington at the
same time of Mrs. Julia Dent Grant, the
widow of ex-President Grant, and of Mrs
Cleveland, the present lady of the White
House, and of Miss Cleveland, the last pre-
ceding lady who held that high position, has
suggested that perhaps It might be as agreea-
BILE to the ladies concerned, as it certainly
would be gratifying to those who might visit
them, if all the ladies now living who have at
any time presided at the executive mansion
could assemble at the national capital and
hold reception together in the White House.
Eleven ladies are now living who at one time
or another have done the honors of the White
House-Chicago Times.

The Pluto Turns an Honest Penny,

A Piute Indian recently appeared in Vir-
ginia City, New, with two large sacks Of
goose and duck feathers, which he was willing
to exchange for coin. The sacks were stuffed
till they were as round and plump as
bologna sausage, and apparently weighing
many pounds. The Indian considered it a
recommendation to say that the feathers were
all white and the product of "big goosen." In
these latter days even the Piute is beginning
to have an eye to the turning of an honest
penny. Formerly the only use he found for
feathers was as a decoration for his warlike
topknot. Now he puts them in a sack and
peddles them among the pale faces. Chi

AN IMPORTANT IMPROVEMENT
was enected yesterday In the water service Of the
northwest by the connection of the 9O-inch
pipe Win the 36-inch main at 18th and L streets.
Inns Inns new pipe will run from the point OF
cOnneCtlOn up 18th street to street, to the
pumping station, and will give at least six
LINES as much water to the station as the
ent, because The new pipe has the advantage OF
connecting With the main nearer the station, and
sne nSaIsr lle main the much greater Will be the

Resolutions Against Coercion Offered
in the New York Assembly,.

ALBANY, n. Y, April LIN the senate this morn
ing, Mr.. Murphy introduced the following:
Whereas the English government is again about
to resort to cruel and coercive measures in its
treatment OF Irish affairs, madly proposing to so
far forget ITSELF and the rights Of its subjects as to
seek to infringe upon the great bulkwarks OF Eng
lish liberty (the right OF trial by jury in seeking
TO enact a law by which Irishmen may be dragged
from their homes and tried before English juries
for alleged political ofienses; and
Whereas the history OF centuries proves that
England's government OF Ireland has been one of
oppression and misrule, and alone responsible for
the alleged laWeSSnesS which 1t now seeks to re-
press by cruel and cOercive legislation; and
Whereas we believe home rule Is the only balm
for wounds Of unfortunate Ireland and the only
guarantee f0r peace and prosperity OF that dis
tracted county, therefore
RESOLVED, That this senate does hereby protest
In the name OF humanity against the enactment
OF the proposed coercion bill by the English gov
eminent, and send greeting to William f. Glad,
stone and Charles Stewart Parnell in their noble
and humane effort to prevent such cruel, unjust
and tyrannlcal legislation that proposed by the
British ministry, and in their endeavOrs TO secure
orIreland the tnestimabe boon OF home rule

PENNSYLVANIA BANKERS TO BE INVESTIGATED FOR
DEFEATING AN OBJDCT10NABlk BILL.
The lower branch OF the Pennsylvania Legfsla-
ture agreed wednesday TO appoint committee
OF five to investigate charges OF bribery against
certain representatives Robert Snodgrass OF
Pittsburg, prominent republican, is supposed to
have brtbed them. The auditor-general In hts last
annual message, suggested that there should be a
law providing Tor the appointment OF bank ex-
aminer, whose duty 1t would be to inquire into
the financial condition OF the private banks OF the
state three times each year and make report. In
accordance with this suggestion q bill was drafted
and introduced. The private banks Immediately
set up howl against the passage OF the measure,
and the report was freely cfrculated that money
would be used to kill the bill Tuesday the meas
ure was defeated, ana consequently its advocates
made an investigation. They discovered thai MT.
Snodgrass had written to the cashier Of q bank In
PfttsOurg informing him that the bill was In q
dangerous position and 1t would likely pass un-
less money was forthcoming TO defeat It. The
banker turned the letters over TO q member OF the
Legislature, but other bankers contributed money
towards defeating the bill The committee ap-
pointed wednesday win compel Q great many
bankers to testify, and those who accepted brides
win be exposed
